The Sanskrit text and English translation of the Yavanajataka of Sphujidhvaja (circa 200 to 600 CE). The Yavana-jataka is an ancient text in Indian astrology possibly representing a versification of an earlier translation into Sanskrit of a Greek text, thought to have been written around 120 CE in Alexandria. This edition of the Yavanajataka also includes a word for word rendering from Sanskrit to English with parts of speech annotations. Note: There are a few inconclusive verses in this translation.
